Back in the day, one of the most frequent questions I’d get was, “Is there a good, (independent) Steakhouse anywhere in WNC?” The answers was always no, but now it’s YES! And Asheville Proper (http://www.ashevilleproper.com/), “a live-fire dining experience where traditional service and modern comforts are taken to new heights.” is it!
The place was absolutely buzzing as a good friend and I had dinner there recently! We ordered a number of dishes, had a glass of 2017 Ravel & Stitch Cabernet Blend and a cocktail each, then wrapped up the evening with two shared desserts. This was all for the sake of research, of course. 🙂 I’m only half kidding, though. It’s a big deal to have a Steakhouse like this now in Asheville.
Takeaways:
*** The steaks are good, but look lost on a big plate when they’re served. The good news is there’s plenty of room for sides that are big enough to share and come with a serving spoon.
*** Patio seating is nice, but limited.
*** Inside the vibe is intimate, with views of wood-fired cooking, the bar, and seating areas that are vignette-like.
*** Where else in Asheville can you get a Pavlova for dessert!?!
*** Their Pastry Chef is Hilary Lamont. Remember that name.
